Workshop Reflections
My degree exhibition workshop was in school last week where staff could come and view the site whilst I supported, answered questions and gathered feedback. Scheduled to last about 30 minutes it went ran from 3pm through to 4.30 with people coming in and staying for between 20 and 40 minutes. People looked, talked, ate cake afterwards :-).

It was very different to the pilot exhibition. I got lots of feedback, mostly positive but some critical too. I’m going to reflect on it using Gibbs Reflective Cycle.
There was feedback from what people said in person, from my observations, from the exit survey (which worked surprisingly well collecting lots of qualitative data) and from blog comments. There’s been feedback since too with learning journal observations of informal conversations and a couple of interviews.
Now I’m wondering about how best to measure impact in school after a very positive interview with my head teacher.

Classroom displays by teachers around the world are now commonplace on the web. For example, go to the http://lmhartley.edublogs.org/ and you will find detailed examples of work displayed by teachers. Some of them have linked their pages to Flickr (www.flickr.com), which is a free photo uploading service that allows you to share comments on pictures.

Google Video
I decided to have a play with uploading a screencast to Google Video. Google Video automatically converts the .mov file and prepares it for streaming. I’m not very happy with the quality - but it is one way of avoiding spending vast amounts of time sorting the files out myself. See what you think:
I’m using a version on cd for the f2f exhibition, so the quality is much better but I might use this for the on-line version, if people think it’s ok.
